Beyoncé and Rihanna among the celebs with the biggest fashion impact in 2023: Lyst

One has more than 300 million followers on Instagram, the other over 280 million… and their popularity goes well beyond social media.

Beyoncé and Rihanna dominated fashion trends in 2023 with Queen Bey pulling out all the stops in a veritable sartorial marathon for her “Renaissance World Tour” with outfits by the likes of Balmain, Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier, while Riri got fans buzzing with her appearances on the red carpet and as the headline performer at February’s Super Bowl.

Fashion is often described as a cyclical process — and not only in the matter of trends. While some celebrities find it difficult to make their mark and carve out a place for themselves among the select few who are favored by the biggest fashion houses, others have been making headlines in the industry for over a decade — and continue to do so.

Such is the case of Beyoncé and Rihanna, who are among the public figures who have been the most influential — and provided the most inspiration — for designers and consumers alike in 2023. These are the findings of the latest Year In Fashion Report from global fashion shopping platform Lyst.
